The Exploration of Exquisite Taste…While We Just Tryin' To Eat

Sorry for the brief hiatus. The good ol’ groundhog saw its shadow, so it’s time to escape hibernation state. With few more weeks left of this rather easy winter, it’s almost time to get up, get out and do something. First way to celebrate this new year is by attending events during NYC Beer Fest. If your a fan of beer. The opening day bash has a lineup of some the top breweries in the states. New England juiciness from Trillium and then some of west coast finest from Monkish. Of course New York is represented strongly here. Go to www.nycbrewed.com for tickets and more details. This one should be bonkers!

The best craft beer show in town ! That about sums it up. This is the best the city that has to offer. With the Fall season around, expect a variety of some tasty suds. Get your tickets here http://www.nyccraftbeerfest.com. Also you can check out the amazing line up of beers and ciders. Personally, I’m looking forward to taste Grimm’s and KCBC offerings.

It an all star line up, so go get your tickets to one out of the three sessions.

With November storming around the corner , it’s time to prep for my favorite annual feast. Yes, Thanksgiving is always a great harmonious day to spend with your love ones, stuff your face with turkey and maybe get a head start with holiday shopping. Sure I like going to Walmart and go toe to toe with hundred other shoppers but Cyber Monday is more right up my alley.

The sweetness of November usually starts of with probably the best walk around tasting event in New York. The New York Taste 2017 is surely not an event to miss.

The reason I think its one of top events. New York Magazine always has a lineup of some of the top buzzing restaurants and chefs in the city. Ticket prices are really reasonable. For the low pricing your gonna leave that venue stuffed. Always great entertainment. Get your tickets now at eventbrite.com/e/new-york-taste-tickets-37281711603.

We are in the midst of brisk crisp weather and a over load of pumpkin spice flavoring everywhere. Oh the joys of the festive months of October. Lots of events coming up before the holiday season. Stay tuned !

The most important food tasting in New York City is an event that benefits Share. Share Cancer Support mission is to create and sustain a supportive network and community of women affected by breast and ovarian cancer. SHARE Cancer Support brings these women and their families and friends together with others who have experienced breast or ovarian cancer, and provides participants with the opportunity to receive and exchange information, support, strength , hope and awareness. SHARE currently serves 40,000 people annually with free supportive and educational services in English and Spanish, provided by people who’ve faced these diseases.

On September 18th , we will be celebrating 41 strong years of dedicated support that Share has been offering.

The event is called A Second Helping of Life. This will be its 14th installment of this meaningful gathering.When it comes to food, the room will be filled with some of the best chefs from New York. Did I forget to mention the lineup consist of an all star female lineup. Angie Mar from the Beatrice Inn will play the role as Executive Chef. Rounding out this fabulous dream team includes Amanda Cohen (Dirt Candy), Alex Guarnaschelli (Butter) to name a few.

In my book, one of the most solid neighborhoods in the food and drink scene is Williamsburg. So many dope spots opened up this year alone, joining some old classics. Stop all that noise, good ol’ Billy Burg is still the place to hang especially is your questing for food. Can’t hit every restaurant so I suggest you go to the Taste of Williamsburg/Greenpoint for a foodgasm .

I said it once and I’ll say it again. Jimmy from Food Karma is the man. He throws some of the best events throughout the year. This one could be one of his best. Pig Island is going to be a another one for the books. Get info and last minute tickets here asap.

Yesterday , I had to break out a jacket as the temperature dipped down to the low 60’s. Yeah ya’ll, summer is pretty much a wrap. If you haven’t taken a weekend getaway , had a froze, or went to a music festival. Your summer could have been a bit dull. You could spice it up a bit by attending the Taste Talk food convention in Brooklyn. Always a fun time to see whats the latest food trends and get to rub elbows with some of the finest chefs. The All Star BBQ is not to be missed. Get your tickets now.

Burger enthusiasts, come out come all. This event you don’t wanna miss.The lineup is pretty stacked with some burger heavyweights. Come support one of my favorite New York magazine. There will be two different session and the event will also be sponsored by Budweiser.

Always a great debate. Where is the best dining neighborhood in Manhattan?

My answer probably will be Flatiron. Though pretty small in area, Flatiron is packed with some powerhouses. To get a sample of some of the best bites the city has to offer, I recommend attending Celebrate Madison Square Chefs on July 18th. Some of the featured restaurants include Cosme, Sugarfish and The Nomad. This is not to be missed. Scoop your tickets here : madisonsquarepark.org/news/cmsc-tickets
